What to do
Operators must replace components before exceeding the new life limits specified in the updated ALS and revise their approved Aircraft Maintenance Programme within 12 months of 22 March 2024. If the AMP was previously updated with earlier ALS revisions, operators must incorporate the new or more restrictive tasks within the specified compliance times. Continued compliance should be recorded through AMP revision rather than individual task records.
Summary
EASA Airworthiness Directive 2024-0066 is an amendment concerning the Airbus A318, A319, A320, and A321 aircraft models. It updates the Safe Life Airworthiness Limitations Items in the Airworthiness Limitations Section Part 1, Revision 09, to ensure continued airworthiness through mandatory maintenance tasks and life limits. This directive applies to all serial numbers of the specified Airbus A320 family aircraft.
What changed
This amendment supersedes the previous EASA AD 2022-0082 and introduces updated maintenance tasks and more restrictive life limits as specified in ALS Part 1 Revision 09. It requires operators to replace components before exceeding new life limits and to revise the Aircraft Maintenance Programme accordingly within 12 months of the effective date.
Why it matters
The directive is critical for aviation professionals as it mandates compliance with updated safe life limitations to prevent unsafe conditions. Operators, maintenance organizations, and compliance teams must ensure that aircraft maintenance programs reflect these changes to maintain regulatory compliance and aircraft safety. Failure to comply could lead to unsafe conditions and regulatory penalties.
